Best picture scanning program to CD-R ?

Is there such an animal as this ?

I want a seemless way to scan family photos and burn them to a CD-R in one step into a nice gallery. Ideally, I'd want the program to start a photo collage as soon as the CD is put into the drive. I'm doing this for relatives (x-mas gift) who don't have any idea what a JPEG is and want an easy turnkey product that just works.

I'm a newbie at both scanners & CDR's so please be gentle. I got all this software with both the CD-R & scanner but don't see a way to do this with what I have.

My system:
P3-650
Abit BX6-R2
30 gig Maxtor & 8.4 WD
Creative GeForce DDR
Aureal Vortex 2
HP 9310i (10x4x32)
Umax Astra 3400
 
Some thoughts...check out CNET/Downloads/PC/Multimedia & Design/Media Management. Maybe something like PhotoAlb 3.7 fits the bill. Suggest you scan your photo and export it to your desktop so you can tell PhotoAlb where to easily find it. If you don't have any image editing software (included in scanner package?) then you can open the desktop file in MSPaint (included in Windows) to do some adjustments for brightness, contrast, touchup, etc. Hope this helps some!
 
I've heard good things about, I think it's ACDSee. I'm not sure how easy it is, but I did see a review in Maximum PC a few months ago. I believe they liked it.
